Romero, written by Romero and John Russo, produced by Russell Streiner and Karl Hardman, and starring Duane Jones and Judith O'Dea. The story follows seven people trapped in a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania, under assault by flesh-eating reanimated corpses.

Josh is the writer of Gyro and the Argonauts - "the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus) than he ever dreamed." “With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth Josh shares the book's origin, his writing process, his journey as a creative and more. He also discusses how he was able to take his love of dad jokes, Ray Harryhausen, Douglas Adams and insert them into the book to tell a personal story that's fun for the fans of all ages.

Today, Matt and Todd dive into the original classic Clash of the Titans (1981), directed by Desmond Davis and starring: Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Judi Bowker, Maggie Smith, and Burgess Meredith.One of the most epic adventure films of its time, Clash of the Titans premiered in the summer of 1981, bringing the legendary Laurence Olivier to the screen as Zeus, whose command for the destruction of Argos sets off a thrilling chain of events.The film is best remembered for its groundbreaking special effects, crafted by the master of stop-motion animation, Ray Harryhausen. His work, including the unforgettable Medusa and Kraken sequences, remains influential in fantasy filmmaking.While Clash of the Titans takes heavy liberties with legendary accuracy, it delivers a thoroughly entertaining and timeless experience—a Greek legend reimagined through the lens of English playwrights and Hollywood sensibilities.We hope you love this fantasy classic as much as we do!Matt reviews and ranks more movies including newer ones at ⁠Letterboxd⁠You can find out what he's following on Bluesky @MovieMattSirois.bsky.socialCheck out favorites of what we follow, at: ⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠⁠ As Marcus he reviews all sorts of films but unlike here, they often they range from bad, worse, or terrible at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠MovieAsylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠.

The arcade was our favorite place to hang out. But there were some games that we blew thousands of quarters on because they were too hard. What do people think were the hardest retro arcade games? We get frustrated until we're broke on Enjoy Stuff. Pass the token 'pon the left hand side! We're gonna need ‘em all with the hardest games in the arcade. Don't get frustrated! Enjoy Stuff.   News In retro news: Garfield phones invade the beaches of France!

The quality of this Ray Harryhausen movie may not have been at the top of his list, but it was still an interesting idea and had some crazy genre mashups. Shua found some cool YouTube channels that have some great, high quality classic Pink Panther cartoons. It's a great way to have some retro in the background.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay gets real with the 2011 Hugh Jackman movie Real Steel.

Enjoy Video Games!  We loved spending time in the arcade as we were growing up. We tried to use our quarters wisely and budget them for the maximum experience possible. But sometimes we had to cram a lot of them into games over and over because they were so hard. Which ones were the most challenging? Were they the same ones you struggled with? Let's see what the internet said and decide if we agree.  What challenging games did we miss?

Back from the holiday break, Byrd and Matt set their sights on Ray Harryhausen's classic series of Sinbad films; the 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1957), the Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977) are still among the most celebrated fantasy films of all time.  After getting tired of monsters tearing down landmarks, stop motion animator Ray Harryhausen decided to make a different kind of monster movie by drawing inspiration from the Arabian Nights folktales of Sinbad, a sailor who would go on swashbuckling adventures and fight monsters, sorcerers and more.  We discuss the history of these influential films, and discuss how they hold up all these years later.  We talk Cyclops, dragons, centaurs, troglodytes, and more!  Relax and enjoy the conversation!

Tyler and Nathan discuss Myrtle Beach, Batman Resurrection (briefly) before deep diving into the final Ray Harryhausen effects film that left such an impression that could very well be argued for being the reason this show exists in the first place.

Sword and Sandals Month continues with 1963's Jason and the Argonauts! Ben and Brady discuss all the swords, sandals, and classic Ray Harryhausen stop-motion creatures in this loose mythological adaptation. Directed by Don Chaffey with visual effects by Ray Harryhausen. Starring Todd Armstrong, Nancy Kovack, Honor Blackman, and Gary Raymond.

After a crash landing while waiting for the rescue ship, Leonard Sale has food, water, air, everything he should need. Now, he just needs to get some sleep…  Ray Bradbury, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

I think you'll find we make it worth your while.     I feel like Ray Bradbury almost needs no introduction. As a kid in the 80s, I was astounded at the Disney film, Something Wicked This Way Comes. It ticked all the boxes to my young mind. When I was in high school, I discovered the richness of his storytelling in Dandelion Wine. When I discovered audiobooks, I heard him read to me The Martian Chronicles. He was a great friend of Ray Harryhausen, the great pioneer of stop motion fantasy and adventure films in the 70s and 80s. My father-in-law painted something for Mr. Bradbury, who wrote him back, saying that he had placed his art above his typewriter. Ray Bradbury died in 2012.   Today's story was originally written in 1948, in the winter edition of Planet Stories.

On the cusp of spooky season's end, John brings a 30 year passion project to the table with The Primevals (2023). It's a love letter to the Ray Harryhausen era of cinema, when stop-motion dinosaurs ruled the world (of B-Movies) and --unfortunately for Ryan and Dixon-- it's also a Full Moon production. Join us for the unofficial Schlocktober main-line episode as we explore whether this time capsule film is a diamond in the rough or just a bottle cap in the dirt. Spoilers: it's a bedazzled bottle cap.

Clash of the Titans continues Nerd Legion's 1980s fantasy marathon, taking us into Greek mythology (kind of) with Perseus' battles against Medusa and the Kraken. While straying very far from its source material, the film gave us Ray Harryhausen's last crack at stop-motion and effects wizardry as a capstone to a multi-decade career in Hollywood. Maggie Smith and Lawrence Olivier also add some dramatic weight as Greek gods to counter-balance the action sequences of Harry Hamlin's Perseus. A little bit silly, but still compelling, Clash of the Titans remains a fantasy classic and a must-watch for fans of the genre. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 109 - KEVIN BAILLIE - VFX SUPERVISOR On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with visual effects supervisor Kevin Baillie (HERE, PINOCCHIO, FLIGHT) in an engaging conversation about the evolving use of VFX in film. We learn what types of discussions Kevin has with filmmakers to determine how to incorporate VFX effectively into their projects, and we discuss his belief in using the right tool for the right job. While looking back in history, we marvel in the immersive quality of Ray Harryhausen's pioneering work on JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS and discuss the function of VFX within a piece of storytelling. We also discuss the increasingly prevalent role of VFX in production and on a perceived creative bifurcation between the production stage and the post-production stage. A frequent collaborator of director Robert Zemeckis, we discuss how the director's relationship to visual effects has changed over the years, and Kevin reveals the intent behind the VFX in the upcoming feature HERE. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

In episode 30, Johnny talks to Academy Award-winning art director and production designer Grant Major.
Described by Vanity Fair as ‘the architect of New Zealand's greatest cinematic achievements', Grant has an impressive body of work. 
His work in the early 1990s on Jane Campion's An Angel At My Table led him to work with Peter Jackson on Heavenly Creatures. He remained in the Peter Jackson fold on The Frighteners, followed by the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and King Kong. He also worked on Niki Caro's Whale Rider in the early 2000s, and recently reprised his collaboration with Jane Campion on the Oscar-nominated The Power Of The Dog. 
Grant has been nominated for five Academy Awards, winning the Oscar in 2003 for his work on The Return Of The King.
Their talk covers Grant's career from working in New Zealand television in the 1970s and the BBC in the 1980s, to conquering Hollywood with Jane Campion and Peter Jackson throughout the 1990s and beyond. They discuss Grant's influences from filmmakers like David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick and Ray Harryhausen, and Grant shares what it's like to witness the first and only take of a devastatingly emotional Oscar-nominated acting performance! 
This conversation was recorded online in mid-July 2024.

CLASH OF THE TITANS Perseus, son of the Greek god Zeus, grows up on a deserted island. His destiny is to marry Princess Andromeda who will someday rule the city of Joppa. But as long as the satyr Calibos -- who uses a giant vulture to kidnap Andromeda's soul every night -- is alive, no one can marry her. Perseus travels to Joppa, where he must defeat Calibos and other mythological monsters to rescue his beloved Andromeda.

FROM THE FURTHEST REACHES OF SPACE AND THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF THE SEA CAME ALIENS, MUTATED CREATURES, AND OTHER LARGE, SCARY ALLEGORIES! Welcome to another patented Genre Grinder deep dive into a specific year where a specific genre peaked. This time, Patrick and Gabe are looking at 15 of 17 movies about gigantic monsters released in some capacity during the year 1957 (festival, roll-out, wide, et cetera). The other two are a lost film (Tokyo 1960) and one already covered on a different episode of Genre Grinder (Quatermass II). Not unexpectedly, the conversation carried on for some time, so the complete 15-movie discussion will be spread over three episodes.   In part one, following an intro to the genre and era, we're covering Nathan H. Juran's 20 Million Miles to Earth, Roger Corman's Attack of the Crab Monsters, Jack Arnold's The Incredible Shrinking Man, and Kurt Neumann's Kronos.    Here's the full Letterboxd list we are working from: https://letterboxd.com/gabepowers/list/1957-giant-monster-movies/   00:00 – Intro: Why were there so many Giant Monster movies in 1957? 13:21 – 20 Million Miles to Earth and the cinema of Ray Harryhausen 42:47 – Attack of the Crab Monsters and the cinema of Roger Corman 1:02:46 – The Incredible Shrinking Man and post-WWII gender politics 1:26:40 – Kronos  1:48:27 – Outro   If you are in a position to make the world a better place, please consider the following fundraisers: Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/ Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/gaza-relief Anera Gaza Aid: https://www.anera.org/where-we-work/palestine/gaza/ Donations 4 Abortions (state by state abortion funds): https://donations4abortion.com/  

The third film in RKO's unofficial trilogy, Mighty Joe Young was a film ahead of its time. In this episode, Joe (the podcaster, not the actor from this film) and Adam discuss the underrated Mighty Joe Young and the spectacular special effects from Ray Harryhausen.

Release the Kraken! Twice!Clash of the Titans had been an idea since the late 1950s, with writer Beverley Cross writing a treatment in 1969 called Perseus and the Gorgon's Head. At the time, producer Charles H. Schneer and legendary animator Ray Harryhausen were working on other films, and so what became Clash of the Titans would have to wait until 1977 to start pre-production.It would eventually release in 1981 and include not only one of Harryhausen's most memorable creatures, Medusa, but also signal the beginning of the end of his career. Clash of the Titans would be his final film, in part thanks to a scathing review.Clash of the Titans would inevitably be remade one day, and that remake fell to Louis Leterrier, and new writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, using an original script by Travis Beacham based on Cross' original script. Updated to modern audiences' needs for big budgets, big-name actors and huge CG spectacle, Warner Bros would notice the huge 3D revolution started by James Cameron's Avatar, and decided to convert Clash of the Titans to 3D in post-production... I would love to hear your thoughts on Clash of the Titans (1981) & Clash of the Titans (2010) !CONTACT....

How can Lemuel Gulliver escape from the Lilliputians? They're only six inches tall – should be a cinch, right?

Things are moving along nicely. Keep an ear open for when we pull the trigger, hopefully in a couple of weeks!   And it's time for the Classic Tales Book Club to meet again! Keep an eye on your inboxes on Tuesday for our monthly newsletter which will contain the zoom link. Our zoom meeting will be on Wednesday, April 10th at 4:00 PM Pacific time, 7:00 PM Eastern. We'll talk about the satirical nature of Gulliver's Travels, and the power of satire. See you then! Follow the link in the show notes to subscribe to our newsletter, and get the zoom link on Tuesday. Mark Twain is quoted as saying that, “a classic is a book which people praise and don't read”. Gulliver's Travels likely fits into this category for a lot of us. We've seen the Max Fleisher cartoon, or the Ray Harryhausen film in the 70s, or the film with Jack Black in 2010. But we've probably never read it. Or we tried, and gave it up. So, what is the lasting appeal of this difficult book? Gulliver's Travels was originally published in 1727. Swift's novel is a satire of British monarchy and Imperialism. He succeeds in taking the mundane, or something we largely take for granted, and pushing it to the extreme to show its absurdity. This goes for everything from governments to our own physical bodies. And yeah, nothing is safe, so get ready for some bodily functions we'd rather not talk about to come front and center.   Gulliver records his travels to several different lands of adventure. Instead of going through the entire book now, we'll tackle them one voyage at a time. Then we'll take a breather. This first stint will be the first part of the book – A Voyage to Lilliput in three parts. Gulliver travels to the land of Lilliput, as well as a land of giants, and also visits the dystopian world of the Houyhnhnms (hoo-IH-nims), among others. I hope you like it. And now, A Voyage to Lilliput, part 1 of 3, from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.
